- 1Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
- Honor the means enjoin'd by Thee,
- Make good our Apostolic boast,
- And own thy glorious ministry.
- 2We now thy promis'd presence claim,
- Sent to disciple all mankind,
- Sent to baptize into thy name,
- We now thy promis'd presence find.
- 3Father in these reveal thy son,
- In these for whom we seek thy face,
- Thy pard'ning mercy now make known,
- In this, thy sacred means of grace.
- 4Jesus, with us Thou always art,
- Confirm thy heav'nly washing now,
- And through this sacrament impart
- The gifts of heav'n, eternal life.
- 5Spirit divine, descend from high,
- Baptizer of our spirits Thou.
- The sacramental seal apply,
- And witness with the water now.
- 6Oh! that the souls baptiz'd herein,
- May now thy truth and mercy feel:
- Redeemer! wash away their sin,--
- Come, Holy Ghost, their pardon seal!
